Battery and CEL

[Silverbolt_2003]

Ok i was accelerating and turning right, in a parking lot, when my CEL turned on and the car ran like crap. The car just went through a rebuild and was running perfect. i was able to limp it to the next parking lane and then it died. i turned it off and it ran fine, no CEL or nothing. I think the battery might have arced or grounded out on my hood and made the system go wacky. i was just wondering if that did it and wanted to know your guys' input. all opinions are welcome. thanks in advance.

typo... sorry. I turned it off then started it back up. im a little tired and the power has been off for 24 hours.

ok it has done it again. i am gonna tighten down the connections on the battery and see if that helps. other than that, i have no idea what is causing it. any help is appreciated.

Make sure the battery is held down by it's holding brackets or yes it can touch the hood and kill the car.
